A taxonomy of manager/owner characteristics: case study research on Turkish born global firms

A new phenomenon, against the process approaches of internationalisation, born globals show that firms can be global short after their inception attracts most of the researchers’ attention in the last two decades. The most denominators in born global research are probably the importance of the entrepreneur and managerial characteristics. Researches on born globals stress the role of managerial characteristics as influences on the export behaviour of the firm. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify and analyse the common characteristics and behaviours of entrepreneurs and managers that affect the establishment of born global firms in Turkey. The study was designed to be qualitative in nature. It provides empirical qualitative data through case studies so that insights can be obtained directly from the entrepreneurs/managers. The samples consist of six born global firms from Ankara-Turkey. Obtained characteristics presented in a tree diagram, were classified through taxonomy. When the results of this study compared with the previous studies, there were both common and some different characteristics about entrepreneurs of born global firms of Turkey as an emerging economy in Asia. In this respect, we suppose that, the study contributed critically to the born global literature.

Tree bark samples were collected from 15 sites across Western China in 2013, and the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) and new polybrominated flame retardant (NBFR) concentrations in the samples were determined. The mean total PBDE concentration was 51.8 ng/g lipid weight (lw), 85.2–99.4% lower than Chinese eastern coastal areas and the E‐waste recycling areas, BDE209 was the dominant PBDE congener, and its mean concentration was 49 ng/g lw. The mean 2,3,5,6‐tetrabromo‐p‐xylene, pentabromobenzene, pentabromotolu...

Predicting shear stress distribution has proved to be a critical problem to solve. Hence, the basic objective of this paper is to develop a prediction of shear stress distribution by machine learning algorithms including artificial neural networks, classification and regression tree, generalized linear models. The data set, which is large and feature-rich, is utilized to improve machine learning-based predictive models and extract the most important predictive factors. The 10-fold cross-validation approach was...

Emerging aquatic insects play a key role in transporting aquatic nutrients and contaminants to riparian consumers. However, little is known about how within and between year variation in the diet or patterns of element bioaccumulation in emerging insect taxa may influence the risk of exposure to wildlife. During two breeding seasons, we examined the composition of the diet of tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) at several colonies that were exposed to element contamination from a remediated coal fly ash spill to...

Stoneflies are macro-invertebrates that are sensitive water quality indicators. Here, their occurrence was modelled based on physical–chemical water characteristics, river morphology and land use with five different modelling techniques. In a case-study in Flanders, stoneflies were found in 219 samples and two sets of absence data were gathered: 219 random samples from sites without stoneflies and 219 samples from sites downstream of each sampling site where stoneflies were observed. With both random and...

Willow tree bark samples from urban and rural sites in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia Province, and Gansu Province, in the Yellow River basin, were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), dechlorane plus (DP), and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) to compare their relative levels in air in these areas (i.e., treating bark as a passive air sampler). No difference was found between the pollutant concentrations in salix matsudana and salix babylonica bark samples. The mean concentrations of the...
